Somehow i got an email from one of my contacts about this website. the contact might be infected with viruses so he probably doesnt even know about it... I tried to reach the contact but havent heard from him... he happens to be Korean and also the website claims to be somewhere in China.

It's got amazing prices on laptops and iphones and other electronics... They say their products are original and new but I really cannot trust it because I cant seem to find a Contact Us page besides some support email address...

I really would like to buy a product but they dont accept credit cards it seems... only paypal and bank transfers... as method of payment... thats where I got really suspicious

Has anyone heard about this??

I have heard and this one seems like a very good one at that... I just wanted to see if someone had used em before or not... coz a google search didnt show anything about them...

On further investigation... their main page still says Welcome to Elebarn...

A google search on elebarn and I see all these threads about people saying how they stole their money and never got sent any product... so yeah they changed their doamin name i guess but never updated the site to say their new name...

Fkin Morons!

I almost fell for this one... its not my fault its because its Shopping Season :D

Sounds like a scam to me, especially based in China, land of all counterfeit products and other deceitful business dealings.

I removed the links to the site. No sense in helping them get ranked higher on google. And, from part of your description, possible malware on the site? Better safe than sorry.

I dont see any spyware on the website... I said the contact who i recevied the email from might have been infected or whatever... because the email did not seem like something he would send... was more like a spam message
